I'm on about page 10 of this book, and thought someone else might want to read and discuss it with me.
I've read James Frey's other books, and thought the writing style was non-traditional but packed with action.
I do not care about the controversy surrounding those books, and I really enjoyed reading them.
Anyway, is anyone interested in reading this with me?
Thanks,
~Daisy

"Bright Shiny Morning" by James Frey
How did it compare?

Just curious if you thought it was a worthwhile read. I've read "A Million Little Pieces" and have "Leonard" on my "waiting to be read" shelf...
Did you enjoy this latest?

Well since I last posted I have read Bright, Shiny Morning and I loved it a lot. I think that My Friend Leonard is my personal favourite of Frey's books which probably puts me in the minority but it they're all excellent.
I thought that Bright Shiny Morning was amazing. There were lots of different scenarios and so many interesting characters from all walks of life. It certainly dismantled any romantic illusions that one might have about Los Angeles.
What I also love is that there is no judgment in Frey's writing. When he writes about downtrodden characters he has given them real and distrinctive personalities instead of relying on stereotypes
